Chapter 597
In the Upton mansion’s garden, a team of police in special uniforms showed Ron and Nicole their credentials and explained their purpose there.
Katie rushed to the window and, seeing that it was the National Investigation Bureau, gnashed her teeth in hatred.
“Sheena! You actually called the police on me? You’re despicable!”
Sheena chuckled. “I’m seeking justice for the countless victims. It’s not baseless. Also, ‘despicable‘ suits you better.”
Katie trembled all over, finally feeling fearful.
The Upton family’s bankruptcy was one thing, but if she went to jail, it would be the end of her.
She would be tortured to the point of wishing for death!
She needed to escape!
She could not just wait for her doom.
Sheila would definitely help her!
“Sheena! Just you wait!”
If she ran out from the mansion’s back door now, she could make it!
Sheena grabbed her wrist, applying subtle force, rendering her unable to move.
“How naive. Do you really think you can escape when the National Investigation Bureau is involved? If you don’t want to go to jail, I can consider helping you. Just tell me Sheila’s identity.”
Katie sarcastically retorted, “Aren’t you a capable person? Can’t even investigate her background on your own?”
“It seems you have a good relationship with her, enough to be willing to go to jail instead of betraying
her. Well then, be my guest.”
Sheena let go of her.
Katie, still trying to escape, was already surrounded by the police rushing upstairs. They quickly put electronic handcuffs on her and were ready to take her away.
Katie struggled desperately. As the police pushed her out of the room, she glared back at Sheena.
“Sheena! She’s someone you can’t mess with! You’ll never surpass her! I’ll be waiting for your
downfall!”
The intense hatred was undisguised, and her words seemed to have a deeper meaning
Sheena remained silent, watching as the police forcibly took the struggling Katie away.

She surveyed Katie’s room and found a photo album in a drawer of her dressing table.
Opening it, she saw a picture of Katie and Sheila in front of Francis University.
She stared at the photo, focusing on Sheila’s smiling face.
The familiar sensation washed over her once again.
The first time Sheena met Sheila, she felt that something was off, especially when Sheila knew about her past in Farlem. Now, thinking about Sheila’s close relationship with Katie, it seemed like Sheila intentionally wanted to reveal something to her.
What game was this girl playing?
As Sheena left the Upton mansion, Katie was already escorted into the police car.
Ron and Nicole were talking to a man with his back turned to her, seemingly pleading for leniency.
Nicole even seemed to be on the verge of tears.
Sheena thought the man’s figure resembled Nathaniel’s and walked over with composure.
When Romello heard footsteps, he turned to look at her.
“Ms. Lawson,
do you
still remember me?”
Besides the color of their eyes, Romello and Nathaniel looked rather similar.
Romello, second in line in the Nicholls siblings and second in command at the National Investigation Bureau, held a position just below Elliot.
Sheena politely smiled and replied, “Mr. Romello, it’s hard not to know you now that you’re in charge of the Nicholls family.
Romello was nostalgic upon seeing her and reached out to touch her head.
“You used to love playing with Nathaniel and visiting the Nicholls family. It’s been a few years since we last met. You’ve grown even more beautiful.”
Sheena took a step back, decisively avoiding his hand. “I’m sorry, but I have a possessive fiance at home. He wouldn’t be pleased if he knew another man was touching my head.”
Romello chuckled. “What an enviable couple.”
